Piece Makers Exhibition

Starting work on the project in 2012, Stockwell was commissioned by the NAM to explore interconnected themes of the Army, conflict and rehabilitation. Collaborating through a series of art workshops with soldiers from two UK recovery centres - Tedworth House in the garrison town of Tidworth, and Stoll in Fulham - the artist encouraged participants to use drawing, sewing and quilting to unlock memories and accounts of soldiering and recovery within these themes. The exhibition marks the first time the NAM has collaborated with a contemporary artist and soldiers in UK rehabilitation and support centres. Visitors to the exhibition will have the chance to learn about the story of this innovative collaboration, and view a large-scale textile-based artwork, 'Peace Maker', Susan’s personal response to this highly moving and at times challenging commission.
